Could nukes deflect an asteroid? ‘X-ray scissors’ offer scientists clues.
“For a one-nanometer fall, we can ignore Earth’s gravity for 20 millionths of a second as Z produces a burst of X-rays that sweeps over the mock-asteroid surface 12.5 millimeters across, about the width of a finger,” said Moore.
Could an X-ray pulse save Earth from an asteroid strike?
Researchers theorize X-rays from a nuclear explosion could be used to vaporize an asteroid's surface, altering its trajectory.
Scientist Nuke an Asteroid in a Lab Mock-Up
Experiment shows that a nuclear explosion could save the planet from a deadly asteroid impact Nature Physics A blast of X-rays from a nuclear explosion should be enough to save Earth from an incoming asteroid,
Asteroids Could Be Deflected Using X-rays From Nuclear Weapons
Exploding a nuclear bomb above a huge asteroid could vaporize its surface using X-rays, pushing the space rock away from Earth.
Scientists say X-rays from nuclear explosion may deflect asteroids from Earth
Scientists in New Mexico conducted several experiments and learned that asteroids can be deflected from Earth using explosions of nuclear warheads above the space rock's surface.
Scientists demonstrate X-rays as a way to zap asteroids out of Earth's path
Lab-based proof-of-concept shows how radiation creates explosive plumes to deflect menacing space rocks US scientists have demonstrated that potentially dangerous asteroids destined for Earth could be deflected from their trajectory using X-rays.
The Latest Idea For Deflecting Threatening Asteroids? X-Ray Pulses
A high-powered pulse of X-rays could vaporize part of an incoming asteroid and change its trajectory in the process, a new study proposes. Whether the approach would be more cost-effective than alternatives under consideration remains to be seen,
X-rays could deflect dangerous Earthbound asteroids
Asteroids can devastate the planet in an instant – just ask the dinosaurs. Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories have now demonstrated a proof of concept method to deflect a potential Earthbound asteroid using a blast of X-rays.
